How Advanced Gateways With Various Industrial Protocols Can Expand OEM Markets
 

It can be challenging for OEMs to reach the entire factory automation market in a landscape of various communication protocols. Fortunately, at Hilscher we overcome these issues with a universal fieldbus gateway product line. The flagship netTAP 100 enables diverse protocol conversion, allowing an OEM to incorporate its product in an expanded range of networks and protocols. The high-end netTAP 100 gateway can join two different networks and features full master/slave support. Thanks to this capability, you can easily integrate individual field devices or plant-wide systems into the existing communication infrastructure.

Cost-effective Gateways Offer PROFINET Connectivity Within Minutes for DeviceNet Industrial Networks
 

With all the automation network protocols available today, device makers have more options than ever. One-protocol manufacturers looking to expand their market must produce devices that are compatible with other industrial networks. Operations running Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLC) could only use DeviceNet drives which may be costly or not readily available. The netTAP 50, a cost-effective gateway for simple industrial automation network conversions, allows drive manufacturers to replace customer drives with their own, even if networks are mismatched, expanding their available market.
